Yosemite

Through my work with Lifeschool I have been guiding backpacking adventures in and around Yosemite National Park for over 15 years. As a result I've gotten to expereince much more than 'the valley' which 95% of the visiting public generally sees. In the backcountry of Yosemite there are countless treasures, rivers, ponds and granite features that only deepen the connection I have with this place. In this gallery are both classic vistas and lesser seen areas of Yosemite National Park, CA - one of my favorite places on Earth.

Tuolumne River Granite

This photo is a classic depiction of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Richly colored granite formations, carved by wind and water with a the fresh fragrance of pine in the air. Seen here is the Tuolumne River just below the famed meadows and just above Tuolumne Falls, one of the of the first waterfalls that enter into "The Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne".
